Born in Walsall, Simkin, who has arrived at the Poundland Bescot Stadium on a season-long loan, is keen to prove his worth and add to the appearances he has amassed during previous loan spells.
Speaking via the club's official website, Tommy said: "It’s class. I am a local lad and I think it is brilliant to come to this football club and try and play as many games as I can.
"I know what it means to the people to play here. I’ve got mates from school who are Walsall fans and I have got family who are as well.

"It is similar to Stoke, a hard-working community Club who want to see 110% from you as players when you are on the pitch and as long as we get the results, that is all the want.
"Solihull Moors was class. I spoke to Stephen Ward, who used to play here, before I came here and he had nothing but good words to say and I also spoke to Labs.
"I have spoken to a lot of people about the move."
